Thailand Holidays 2009
By Talen on Jan 5, 2009 in Thai Festivals, Thailand Holidays
Below is a list of Thailand’s public & national holidays for 2009. Businesses and government offices will be closed on national holidays while tourist attractions, clubs, and shops generally remain open. Many holidays such as Loy Kratong and Visaka Bucha day are based on the lunar calender so will change dates from year to year.
The holiday calender is located in the right sidebar year round for your convenience.
